...step up from our last two games.”Harvard took it to the Bobcats from the first whistle. Sophomore Jess Halpern opened it up for the Crimson with a goal in the first five minutes of the game, off an assist from junior tri-captain Sara Flood.

Kentuckians have come to expect outrageous statements from Bunning. When the Ohio River flooded parts of Louisville in 1997, Bunning, then a state representatitve from Northern Kentucky, blamed the devastation on the city's failure to raise its flood walls, only to have to apologize when the storm-weary city leaders pointed out that the walls had been up for days.

...fixed-rate mortgage at 8.99% interest, at a time when the Federal Reserve is trying to push rates below 5%. But after faxing his paperwork and waiting for several weeks, Zachery received the same invitation again. Evidently his application had been lost. Zachery's documents had vanished in a flood of urgent requests for mortgage relief. So he sent his materials a second time, but instead of an answer from the service company, he received a letter from lawyers for the bank. This, too, is typical, said Wagoner. Modifications and foreclosures often proceed simultaneously along separate bureaucratic paths, so that...
